Birds foot trefoil

This was one of my impulse buys at Victory (seeds just arrived). I remembered seeing it on a list for beneficials. Then I got to researching and some places it is considered invasive. Is it something I should set aside and forget?

I guess it is used some places (PA, northern MO) as a forage crop. One site said as a cover crop.

Bountiful Gardens said: Bright yellow-and-red, very showy flowers. Good choice for an area that will get little care, needs to be kept low and neat, or for arid pasture. Does well on slopes, walls, or as a lawn substitute. Builds fertility with no care.BOTANICAL NAME: Lotus corniculatus

It's a European native, may even be too hot for it here. If it would choke out bermuda I would use it for lawn, LOL. Says it can be mowed.
